Definitely let's be in touch, Angelo. It will be good to see you again! I'll check the magnetism.

Really tough, tough bass to have offered. The neck on this one, Jeff, is rather cold. Round, not very wide, more like a '56 or before. The first '57 that doesn't have a friendly neck profile. Otherwise, in incredible shape!

But, ya never know...
I have shots under the guard, Andy. I will post them soon. It will be helpful for everyone.

Yes, Tom. Probably not for another 3 weeks or so. Keep checking the site or ask me. Still describing & photographing for the Valley Forge Auction.

$11,500 with buyers premium. Not bad considering the mods.
